You die instantly unless…
MADDY: “Did you know that there are two places on your body, that if you get shot there, you will die instantly?”
BEN: “Where, Maddy?”
MADDY: “Your head & your neck – you will die instantly if you get shot there.”
BEN: “Not necessarily, I’ve heard of people who’ve been shot in the head or the neck and survived.”
MADDY: “No, Ben. (humouring his ignorance!) That’s just what you see in movies – in real life if you get shot in the head or the neck, you will always die instantly….(thinks for a moment)…unless you can get to a hospital.”
I was finished the first draft, but then I decided to torment my characters even more, and I'm adding an extra couple of scenes.
